I wasn’t quite clear about what was going on to start with (not sure I’m much clearer now), but I saw a sign and lo, I did chuckle at it. Even if the ‘God hates figs’ placard was initially somewhat startling.
I’ve been chortling away at various other signs as images surfaced on the [...]

I’m not exactly renowned for my highly developed sense of time, even at the best of times.
Consequently there’s been a few issues over the years, especially when the clocks change, such as the time I got through all of Sunday without realising it was *that* day. The result was that I got [...]

January: Spot a brilliant present for Sister’s birthday. Order it immediately, even though her birthday isn’t until October.
August: Spot a birthday card featuring Spike Milligan’s splendid Fluffybum the Cat. We loved Badjelly the Witch as children; we adored Fluffybum. Buy the card immediately, even though Sister’s birthday isn’t until October.
Early October: Receive [...]

“It’s a bit foggy,” says Mr TLC, understating wildly. “Take care.”
I set off and start to play hide and seek with other drivers in the fog. Some of them have their lights on. Others have opted to present me with a higher level of challenge.
As is the way with these things, the [...]

I live on the dullest road in Sheffield. It’s lovely.
My road goes nowhere, so it’s quiet.
As far as I am aware, my neighbours are unlikely to attract the attentions of any passing paparazzo, so, as I said, it’s quiet.
Which leaves me wondering why I passed a camera crew at the [...]

… but a little procrastination won’t hurt. Isn’t that what weekends are for?
Anyhoo, it must be time for a quick catch up, so here it is:
I’m now two weeks into my new job and still very happy that I’ve moved. I’m still trying to remember a great many names, getting lost/walking in [...]

Hello! Remember me? I’ve been exceedingly busy doing a great many things, some interesting, some not (such is life), so here’s a quick update:
I have been to Paris, which went something like this: count children onto a bus, set off, travel a bit, count children, arrive at science museum, count children, have a [...]

Mr TLC has arrived at a more interesting age.
On his last birthday, I suggested that he could spend his days carrying the good folk of Crookes to Woodhouse and back, but apparently he didn’t see himself as that kind of 52. Now he is back in his prime. (I am not currently in [...]

Longest day? Not here it isn’t. Some of us are off to bed ridiculously early thank you very much.
Going to bed in the daylight is something I associate with childhood, so it seems rather appropriate given the cause of my tiredness. What cause would that be? Someone had a rather sleepless night last [...]

It may be unpatriotic, it may even be treasonous, but I’m going to say it anyway: football bores me to tears.
I’ve no problem with other people liking it, nor do I mind the fact that almost everyone else in Eng-er-land has festooned their home/car/bicycle/cat with Eng-er-land flags, I just don’t really want to [...]

The real three-legged cat
Welcome! Hi, I'm Lois Lindemann. Welcome to my blog!
This is where I blither on about life, the universe and everything - sometimes even three-legged cats.
I am: a resident of Sheffield (it's been my home town for more than 20 years), a Londoner, a teacher of maths and ICT and a student of French.
I like: cats, Sheffield, walking, doing the pub quiz, maths, cooking, reading, red wine, theatre, weekends in London, cycling, eating out, museums, gardening, going to the cinema, real ale, learning French and spending far too much time online. (My partner, Mr TLC, says this is making me sound like a lonely hearts ad. Oh well.)
Any opinions expressed in this blog are my own, I don't claim to speak for anyone else in education or outside of it. If you disagree, feel free to comment!
